Food was pricey for the poor quality. The drinks are pricey but very good quality, not watered down. They have a yummy cocktail list. I recommend trying the Singapore sling. However, some of the bouncers inside are some of the most insolent and aggressive people I've come across. I really hope management addresses the attitude and behaviour of some of their security staff. The door lady was sweet and had a great attitude unlike some door people in other bar/ nightclubs. However, one bad experience there left a sour note in my mouth so I won't be back and I'll be telling all of my friends and collegues about it.

I bought two different vouchers from them in January. I successfully redeemed one but I had a terrible experience with redeeming the another voucher with a different merchant. And I informed the spreets team of my case via an email to support and their facebook page. It took several messages on facebook for them to respond to my email. But they were happy to refund me no questions asked and I didn't even ask for a refund. Good customer service but a bit slow to respond to feedback. I am really satisfied with the outcome. And I will purchase again in future when I see a good deal. Especially when it involves getting pampered.

I had my eyebrows threaded for the first time at Bollywood brow bar. It didn't hurt as much as waxing. I'm trying to grow my eyebrows back to their original full shape and I understand that I'll need more than several visits to see my desired outcome. However I wasn't blown away by my first visit, the shape was just okay. Maybe the therapist needed more hair to work with but to her credit she listened when I asked her to not go too thin. My biggest gripe was that I arrived 5 mins early but I was attended to 15-20 mins after my scheduled appointment. This is unacceptable. And the atmosphere wasn't very relaxing at all, kind of felt rushed. I might go back to give her a second chance. Please note: I have combination skin and so far I have had my eyebrows threaded once at Bollywood brow bar and at another place. The morning after I wake up with numerous small whitehead pimples/ bumps (milia?!?) on my forehead and between my brows. And areas underneath brows where my skin wasn't properly stretched. But apparently this "side effect" is quite common with threading. And they went away 1-2 days after this so don't let this put you off from threading.

Approximate cost: $21-25
